The Largest Criminal Court.

What is claimed to be the largest
criminal court in the world is the Cnited
States District Court for the Western
district of Arkansas, located at Fort
Smith. on the line of the Indian ierrl'
tory, over which it has jurisdiction
in all cases where a white man or nom
citizen is a party to the crime. From
this court there is no appeal, and when
n criminal is once convicted his only
loophole through which to escape the
punishment which the law imposes on
him is through executive clcmency. 1t
is we'll known that no court in all the
land dispatches business with the rapid
ity of the United States Court for the
Western district of Arkansas, ana no
court exists where cases are tried with
orcoter care for the rights of all. 1t is
in session the year round, there being
four terms viz, February term, May
term, August term and November term.
The grand and petit juries are all COM
nosed of citizens of Arkansas, being
selected from the several counties en-
braced in the district.
Mr.. Isaac C.. Parker has been for
twelve years past the Presiding Judge in
this court, and during that time has dis.
posed of over six thousand criminal
cases, besides a very large number OF
civil cases. Prior to the appointment OF
Judge Parker, there had been seven men
convicted of murder and hanged. Dur
ing his term of office there have been "a
persons convicted of capital crimes and
sentenced to death by him. Of those
sentenced to death since 1878, SO were
hanged, 81 had their sentences committed
to life Imprisonment, and 4 to short
terms of Imprisonment, 8 died in Jail
while awaiting execution, was killed
while attempting escape and one was
pardoned unconditionally.-Mea0 York

COmmOdolc Schlcy'S RcpOrt.

Commodore ". S. Schley, of the Bureau Of
Equipment and Recruiting, has submitted
his annual report to the Secretary of tine
Navy. During the year an expenditure Of
$40, ,S17 was made to rcit vessels and to sup
ply them with stores at the various yards,
and 1851, l37 was expended for material.
The management Of the training station at
Coasters Harbor Island highly commended,
and credit is given to the commanding officer
of the training squadron for the efficiency
and good order of his command. Attention
is called to the necessity of two modern steam
cruising ships to take the place of the three
training ships now in nse-the Portsmouth,
'5cLnsu0Wi and Saratoga.
In regard to the enlisted men and appren-
tices the report states that the number al
lowed by law was not exceeded during the
fiscal year. The men enlisted are carefully
examined, and are in the main well-behavcd
and orderly, responding readily to the in
terest manifested in them. The Chief recon-
mends that an additional number Of TOO men
he asked fer for special service in the Naval
Academy, coast survey, and fish commission,
rs the force of men which at present must be
detailed for this service frequently cramps
the bureau in fitting out additional vessels.
